Chapter 297: The Black Market and “Etoile”
「The “Black Market”?」(Touya)
What’s with those overly threatening words? I can iht for us to go to a place like that?
「It’s a sacred place for backroooods, but also prohibited iteoleerous, so it ht?」(Touya)
「You’re right The one controlling the Black Market is an organization called the “Black butterfly” Unlike us, those guys will do anything for profits I intend to sht! I can crush the precarious words as if they’re nothing
「Wait-wait! You’re a little weird in here Don’t drag a good-natured citizen into one your ploys」(Touya)
「Would a good-natured citizen ju clothes?」(Nia)
Uugh! I don’t think that event is related to this one…
「Well, let’s leave that aside If you want to get your hands a “Legacy” golem, the Black Market is the quickest way to access them because you can’t be sure that you’ll be able to find one if you search a ruin」(Nia)
Exploring the ruins IS an option, provided I have some time to spare… But it looks like I have no choice other than to give up this ti to is more or less called a blackunusual there
「Norerous to the buyer Just reoods” rule As long as you can just follow that, you’ll be just fine」(Yuri)
Yuri adds to the explanation as well Oh right, there are stolen goods in there too I suppose everyone would be suspicious if so for inforht be roup
「Got it Take me to this place I’ll just say this in advance, but I don’t have any intention of crushi+ng that organization Do you understand?」(Touya)
「dauess that’s fine I want to inspect the eneue comes back… oh, it’s here」(Nia)
Nia turns her eyes toward the fort Then I notice a s here from the other side
It has a deep cri flaht in full-body ar which it’s carrying on its shoulder is a large wild boar about the same size of an automobile
Unlike its appearance, it olem drops the wild boar with a thud
「Welcoone to?」(Nia)
『North, to the depths of the forest I’ve e)
「Did it just talk…?」(Touya)
Though the voice sounded oleolem that I encountered before… Was it called Fenrir? It talked just as fluently as the Babylon sisters of our household
「Rouge, this is Touya He’s the one who gave us the iteue His full naue since his na」
『I heard the story I thank you』(Rouge)
「Aah, no… Don’t htly bowed Sooleole to it
If I reuy fro?
A “Legacy” with an exceptionally unique ability is said to be one of the oleh
「Rouge, we’ll be going to the “Black Market” after this Coe)
Rogue makes a small nod in response to Nia’s words Soer brother Though in reality, the younger brother is much older
「So, where is this place?」(Touya)
Operating my smartphone, I then project the map of this world
「Here’s the fort we’re in The black market is located in the city of Goldes south fro called the Casino city…」(Nia)
「Noait just amyriad of colors?」(Touya)
「So you know about this city?」(Nia)
That city? I stopped by this casino city one tiroup and before returning to my world So that city’s called Goldes, huh?
I pretty much lost all of my money there and became penniless…
「Is that city controlled by the “Black butterfly”?」(Touya)
「No, the black es its location every month It’s in Goldes this time, but it doesn’t particularly mean that the “Black butterfly” controls Goldes Naturally, theywith the the venue each month is probably to mislead the eyes of the country, isn’t it? However, Nia sure knows much about it
「It takes a thief to catch another thief There are ways for us to acquire this kind of inforer on her lips while saying so Although the “Red Cats” is a group of chivalrous thieves, they don’t shy away from obscure practices Such information later beco “don’t leak sensitive information like this to outsiders such aseven after I hear it though
「Oh well It’s possible to go to this Goldes city at once because I’ve been there before, but… Is it really alright for Nia and the rest to co this just for the record, but she’s the leader of a group of thieves Seeing that I’ her to places which attract public attention is alright or not, Nia waves her hand with a
「There aren’t many people that know that I ae with er」(Nia)
Does it mean that the number of people who know the face of the Red Cats’ leader is liroup itself is fa our true identities with “Mirage” if push comes to shove, but it doesn’t look like I will need to worry about that
For the ti and leave them with a mouse that I’ve su, they should be able to reach ic, Nia presses ic as well, but she drops her shoulder disheartened when I tell her that I couldn’t teach her this ic since she doesn’t have the aptitude for the darkness attribute
=================================================================
The outer district of a casino in the capital Goldes Even this gorgeous capital has a dark side The place called the slums It’s here where people with broken dreams end up and the last stop for those who are lost
Having opened “Gate” in the back alley of such place, we then transfer to Goldes I for a while, we arrive at the street facing the central district
The neon lights of this city aren’t shi+ning because it’s daytime, but the city looks flashy as usual even under the sun
We travel up a hill towards the central district and pay the toll to the gatekeeper before the flashy shi+ning gate
I had thought about this when I ca the ad an amusement park
「So, where at the central district are we supposed to go?」(Touya)
Inside the central district, there are several casino do a different owner, I hear Surely, the ht after night
There are also buildings with soe ah the casinos aren’t opened during the daytime, I wonder at what place and tioing to is the casino “Goldman” To be precise, it’s a place where the casino “was” located」(Nia)
「”Was”?」(Touya)
「Several a and all kinds of other stuff I heard theythem kill each other We had intended to deliver the divine retribution upon theuess ere beaten to the punch」(Nia)
Nia looks the other ith a sullen face Just when I’ from the side
「The one who had driven that owner to ruin was a person in possession of a black “Crown”, si because her rival seized all of the spoils」(Yuri)
「Don’t say anything unnecessary!」(Nia)
“Bishi+!” Nia flicks Yuri’s forehead “It hur-r-r-rts”, says Yuri as she squats dohile touching her forehead It was an excellent sound
A red crown and a black crown Does this mean that the crown series have colors attached to them as names?
「At any rate, the nener, who purchased the casino do with the “Black butterfly”」(Nia)
I see I open my map app and look at the map of this city It’ll troublesoed, but it looks like it still retained the name “Goldman”
Once alk up to the front of the casino doolems, about three e~ They aren’t as tall as fra old-fashi+oned, those golebefore the us, the evilest looking one alares at us If this place was a proper first-class casino, his behavior wouldn’t be acceptable
「If you caold per person If you ca Man)
「…We caht?」(Touya)
As I inquire about it, the man nods silently “Pay the fee if you want to enter”, – is what he probably meant
The admission fee is about 100,000 yen per person, huh? Apparently, golems aren’t counted for the ade’s share as e entered the central district
I take out three gold coins and hand the the fee, theus todoor and come out to a barren hall Looks like every decoration inside this casino doh I had entered a different casino before, the hall froeous
But in here, there are no tables to play roulette or poker and bar counters There’s no big chandelier in here as well Only a large nuhout the spacious dome
There are small tent-like stores even on flea markets, but both the shopkeepers and the customers here look way too suspicious A chaotic world is spreading before our eyes here
「It feels like a flea s are being sold namely: some sort of parts in which I don’t have any idea about, various types of jewelry, expensive-looking vases, even ani around appears, so I end looking restlessly around without thinking
Oops! I et what I really ca rese of this?
「In black olems are placed in a different location, you see Yuri has already gone to inquire about it, so just wait for a bit」(Nia)
Yuri returns a short tih priced ite conducted in the basement
